UEFA Youth League Results 2015-16: Real Madrid vs. PSG Semi-Final Score, Recap

Paris Saint-Germain will meet Chelsea in the final of this season's UEFA Youth League after defeating 10-man Real Madrid 3-1 in Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday thanks to late goals from Aka Wilfride Kanga and Jean-Kevin Augustin.

Achraf Hakimi put the French side into an early lead thanks to his own goal before Borja Mayoral equalised from the spot, but Kanga and Augustin each netted in the final 10 minutes to clinch a place in the final.

Real's youngsters finished second to PSG in Group A during the first phase of this year's competition, and manager Francois Rodrigues' men got their second victory of the season over their opponents.

OptaJean noted the victory breaks new ground for French teams in Europe's elite youth competition:

Real's hope of making their maiden Youth League final appearance suffered a major setback early on Friday, where it took their opponents just five minutes to break the deadlock following a Hakimi own goal.

The 17-year-old came into the semi-final clash full of motivation to put the ball in the back of the net, except his opening contribution happened to be diverting Odsonne Edouard's cross past his own goalkeeper.

Real No. 1 Luca Zidane—son of first-team manager and club legend Zinedine—had little chance of preventing the ball from deflecting past him, but the match was still in its infancy.

Los Blancos weren't shy of their own attacking chances, however, and ChelseaHQ—analysing their upcoming opponents—rightly attested to both teams showcasing deficiencies at the back:

Despite their early setback, the Spaniards did well to come back into the fixture, and it was some applied pressure from maestro Aleix Febas that led to their equaliser on the 33-minute mark.

Alec Georgen's was found guilty of tripping Jose Carlos Lazo in the area, and Mayoral sent PSG goalkeeper Remy Descamps the wrong way, tying a prestigious youth record in the process, per the official Youth League Twitter account:

After going in tied 1-1 at the break, it was PSG who made more of a nuisance of themselves after the restart, and the shot count began to rise in their favour.

Zidane was called into action on a more frequent basis and stood up well to the threat, with Yakou Meite among the French outfit's biggest threats before being replaced by Kanga.

With seven minutes remaining in normal time, PSG constructed a quick break, and Kanga got the space necessary to fire past Zidane for what looked likely to be the match-winner.

Real's hope of a comeback turned to rubble when Lozo was shown his second yellow, and Augustin exploited the man advantage, turning his man before firing into the top of the net, as shown by French newspaper Le Parisien:

Chelsea promise to be tough opponents in the tournament's finale next Monday, with the Blues hoping to become the first team to seal successive Youth League titles in the competition's three-year lifespan.

PSG proved on Friday they're capable of overcoming talented opposition, but the contest's curtain call will make for entirely different circumstances as Europe's in-form youth teams battle for continental glory.
